Preparing your garage door
Before you begin:
•
Disable
locks.
•
Remove any ropes connected to the garage door.
•
Complete the following test
to make sure your garage
door is balanced and is not sticking or binding:
1. Lift the door about halfway as shown. Release the
door. If balanced, it should stay in place, supported
entirely by its springs.
2. Raise and lower the door to see if there is any
binding or sticking.
If your door binds, sticks, or is out of balance, call a
trained door systems technician.
